This trip is primarily about meeting with people: NGO's; companies; and individuals; with experience in distributing technology to the (especially rural) poor. I've got meetings lined up in Delhi (11-12 Jan); Pune (13-14); Mumbai (15 & maybe 16); Mangalore (17) Puttaparthi 18 Bangalore 19-20 Chennai 21-22 Auroville 23-29 (though those dates are tentative, and especially the later ones are likely to shift back a day or so).
